The zoo was very   33   and it was impossible to go everywhere. They had to   34   where and which animal to visit as their time was limited (限定). So both of them agreed not to go back   35   choosing a branch road at every crossing.        A road sign at the first crossing showed one way to   36   quarters and the other to tiger hill. They decided on the former after a   37   discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland.” The second   38   a division going separately to the panda and the peacock.

But they had to make it, and immediately. If they couldn’t, they would   41   more. Only rapid decision could offer more   42   for sightseeing and reduce (减少) possible regret.     Life is more or less like this — choices often appear that one has to choose, for example, between two desirable (合意的) jobs, two fascinating universities. To get one you have to give up the other — you can   43   get half of it. If you spend time weighing the pros and cons and thinking about gains and losses, you will most likely   44   with empty hands. Don’t be sad about it.

I always do my homework. I don’t want Mrs. Palmquist to be upset with me and I like to get good grades in school. There is a student in our class who never does his homework. His name is Bobby. He always says that he forgot what to do. None of us understood why he didn’t do his homework. It wasn’t hard and it didn’t take long to complete. The week before our winter break, Mrs. Palmquist gave us homework passes，so we did not have to do homework one night without any trouble. Some of us were surprised when Mrs. Palmquist gave Bobby a homework pass. Why would she give him one? Bobby didn’t do his homework and he was being rewarded (奖励). That wasn’t fair. The next day Bobby didn’t come to school. Mrs. Palmquist told us that Bobby had been very sick. He went to the doctors, but it didn’t work. Then he was put in the hospital so that they could help him get better. We were all very sad. The class decided to help Bobby with his homework problem. During our free time we made Bobby cards. Each card had a special gift inside. Every student gave Bobby his or her homework pass. Mrs. Palmquist had tears in her eyes when she realized what we had done. She told us that she was very proud of our actions and cancelled homework for one week. A few months later, Bobby returned to school. He was better. The doctors helped cure Bobby of his illness. Every day after his return, Bobby completed his homework. He didn’t need our gifts after all. Mrs. Palmquist told us that he used our passes every day when he was sick. I learned a lot in Mrs. Palmquist’s class that year. My mom says I learned more than I realized. Adults sure are funny! 48. The writer does her homework every day ________.    A. to give a gift                                   B. to learn from her teacher    C. to help Bobby                                   D. to get good grades 49.

Bobby used his own homework passes to get out of trouble.    D. Mrs. Palmquist didn’t give her students homework for a week. 51. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?    A. A Sick Student                          B. The Special Gift    C. A Funny Teacher                               D. Bobby’s Homework Passes (C)      It’s hard to believe how times have changed since the first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, on 6th April 1896. One hundred years ago, there was very little reliance (dependence) on modern technology. There were no landing mats (海绵垫), no stopwatches and no photo finishes. In fact, cameras and stopwatches were not used until the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA.     Today technology has completely revolutionized (changed) sports. Take sports equipment (装备) for example. Starting blocks are now equipped with electronic pressure sensors, which, together with digital cameras, provide exactly correct race time and also help to catch runners who “jump the gun”. As athletes cross the finishing line, special digital cameras can also easily decide the winner. The days of “dead heats” are gone.     Athletes have also benefited (受益) from technological developments. Body-hugging suits, which reduce (减少) wind drag, can help cut up to one-tenth of a second from runners’ race times. Top athletes are even provided with tailor-made sports shoes. These shoes are made to fit the athlete exactly -- and there are even air compartments in the shoes that can be filled to meet each runner’s individual needs.     Technology has also changed the way that many sports are performed. Take one example -- the pole vault (撑杆跳). The inclusion of a landing mat obviously made a big difference to the vaulting style (方式) as athletes no longer needed to worry about hurting themselves as they fell. Without these worries, athletes could obviously jump higher. These days, pole vaulters do not even need to worry about the crossbar as the uprights are now fitted with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that measure (测量) how high the athlete vaulted. Even it has been to the advantage of swimmers. New pools have been designed to reduce wave interference and sports scientists have even developed a new style of swimming that increases buoyancy and reduces drag in the water.     The increasing importance of these technological developments has led many sportsmen to suggest that the “Olympic spirit” is being lost in a rush to break records and win medals. Many developing countries say that technology has become too important in sport and that athletes from developing countries that cannot afford such technology are disadvantaged. There are no easy answers but one thing is sure -- we cannot turn back times. Technology cannot go backwards.  52. How many pieces of high-tech sports equipment are mentioned in Paragraph 2 and 3?        A. One.                      B. Two.                    C. Four.                      D. Five. 53. The underlined phrase “dead heats” means ________.        A. sports equipment which was out of date        B. runners who jumped the gun while running        C. diseases which killed runners in hot weather        D. races in which runners finished at the same time 54. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?        A. LEDs can measure the speed of swimming.        B. The pole vault was not quite safe in the past.        C. Pole vaulters jump higher with landing mats.        D. New pools have changed the style of swimming. 55. The purpose of the writer in writing this article is ________.        A. to suggest we should keep up with the times        B. to show us the future of modern Olympics        C. to prove that the athletes have done better        D. to introduce high-tech sports equipment 第II卷  （非机读卷  共50分） 听力理解（共8分） 一、听下面一段对话，记录关键信息。对话读三遍。（共8分，每小题2分） 请根据所听到的对话内容，填写表格中所缺关键信息。 Television Survey Personal information Name: ××       Age: 24        Job: 1. __________ Television viewing Hours (per week):  2. __________ Likes:           Sports and action programs.   Reasons:         They are 3.            and he can see his favorite stars.  Dislikes:         Advertisements and 4.             Reasons:         Feel bored and sleepy.   语言知识运用 （共17分） 二、根据对话内容，用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。（共7分，每空1分） policeman,    mother,    have,   big,    sell,   friend,   do Carl:  Hi.

Only a week later, it saved his life. He was hit by a car while riding home from school in Tucson, Arizona. His bike was broken into pieces in the accident. But Sean was alive. His helmet protected him from serious head injury (负伤). “I used to think helmets were unnecessary. I thought I would never get hurt,” Sean said. “But it can and will happen to you if you’re not careful.” Sean later spoke before the Tucson City Council about the need of bike-helmet laws. This led to a new Arizona law that requires people under the age of 18 to wear a bike helmet while cycling. Fifteen-year-old Mike Jones of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, knows about safety. Two years ago, he was seriously hurt in a car accident. Mike hurt his head badly when he was thrown from a van. “I don’t know why I didn’t wear a safety belt that day. Now I always wear it,” Mike said. Today, he can still think of that experience. “I used to love sports, but I can’t do them anymore. I can’t risk (冒险) getting another serious injury,” he said. Like Mike, many people around the U.S. are becoming more safety-wise. “Parents can’t watch kids every minute. Kids must know how to be safe. It’s in their control and power,” says Susan Gallagher, director of the Safety Network. New technology is also helping to prevent injuries. More people than ever before use products such as fire alarms in their homes and seat belts in their cars. Most cyclists know that they should use bike helmets. New laws, such as the bike-helmet law Sean Aiken helped pass, are also making more people use these products. The number of serious injuries caused by car accidents and fires has gone down over the years. Kids are taking action to help prevent injuries. Like Sean Aiken and Mike Jones, they know that safety works. 1.      Did the helmet save Sean Aiken’s life? 2.      What does the new Arizona law require? 3.      Why was Mike Jones seriously hurt in a car accident? 4.      What things are mentioned to prevent injuries in the passage? 5.  What is the main idea of the passage? 五、书面表达 （15分） 中学生英语报就“合理安排周末体育活动时间”的话题进行征文。你应征对某班40人做了调查，结果如下面的图表。请你根据图表和提示词语描述调查结果，介绍你个人周末体育活动情况，并说明理由和发表看法。 注意：1、请不要写出真实姓名和校名。 2、词数不少于60 词。 提示词语：play sports, do exercise, practice running, think, because, like football,… _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 九 年 级 第 二 学 期 期 末 测 评                英语参考答案及评分标准           第I 卷  （机读卷  共70分） 听力理解   (共18分) 一、听对话，选择与对话内容相符的图片。（共6分，每小题1分） 1.

As for me, Most of my sports time is to practice running. Sometimes playing basketball with my friends is also fun for me. It often takes me about three hours. As the diagram shows, it’s acceptable for most students to enjoy sports for two hours every weekend. I also think that it’s necessary for everyone to go out of the door.

If you choose the environment, the topic is, “How serious is pollution in Beijing?” If you decide on sports, then the topic is, “What sports are people in our city interested in?” After deciding on a topic, you will need to collect information. What research methods should you use? Well, if you pick the sports topic, I suggest you interview young people and their parents. Going to a fitness center or a gym to get some first-hand information may be a good idea. If you prefer the other topic, the one about the environment, you’ll need to make a questionnaire or survey, and do a lot of document research, in the streets, and shopping malls, as well as the internet.  I’ll let you have a month to collect information. On May 18, I would like you to hand in the plans for your research. On June 17, you must finish your survey and have your homework ready. The project can take the form of a written report or a video show. The written report must be at least 1000 words long. If you have a video show, the recording should last no longer than 10 minutes. I will arrange for your group to show it in the classroom during lunch.
